The Roving Blades/The Crimson Pirates - Irish Band - New York City, New YorkEvent Location: The Jerry Orbach Theatre, New York, New YorkEvent Type: Theatrical Performance4th January 2014
The show stars five comedic pirates, who spin their tale with all tongues tucked firmly into their cheeks — at least when they aren't singing. Running about 60 minutes without intermission, this clever romp deftly walks a fine line: the script — which includes lapses into improvisation — works for both kids and their parents at the same time.

The show was non-stop laughter. Parents were laughing just as much as the kids, as some of the jokes were geared toward the parents (i.e. 'Monty Python' references) but nothing is really inappropriate for kids. I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes, and my son asked me to stop because I was so loud that he couldn't hear.

You may wonder also if you’ve drifted into a piratical Midsummer Night’s Dream – such is the zaniness of the “Mechanicals” who inhabit this pun-filled, freebooting farce. - Drawing from the classical, The Greatest Pirate Story Never Told! blends the two masks of comedy and tragedy in perfect proportion: lost at sea and horribly far from all they know, only funny bits can help them out now. The slapstick stage antics generate laughs all around, and adults will find additional amusement in the cleverness of the story within a story device. Here, the opportunity is seized not so much to drive argumentative points home, but with a wink and a nod to the art of playwriting itself.

Christopher Leidenfrost has written this part-improvised, part-scripted adventure, a surprisingly charming musical tale of life on the high seas, in which the ensemble of five (Mr. Leidenfrost, David Anthony, Rebeca Diaz, Risa Petrone, and Kevin Maphis) gives no quarter when composing rhyming lyrics on the spot, while also engaging in multiple role playing, sword fighting, hearty kissing of buxom wenches, and all the other things expected of deck-swabbing buccaneers. Under the captaincy of director Rick Leidenfrost-Wilson, Mr. Leidenfrost’s husband, the show has a sprightly, rum-soaked humor that makes you want to growl “Arrr!”
